Chapter Seven: The Proper Way to Harness the Power of the Galaxy

Under the morning sunlight, the café was uniquely arranged, perfectly matching the trendy, slightly bourgeois, and lightly luxurious style favored by the youth of Grand Canyon City.

At the coffee bar stood an extraordinarily beautiful young woman, so stunning she could be called a peerless beauty, capturing everyone’s attention.

Unfortunately, the four members of Lian Feng’s group were in no mood to appreciate the scenery; instead, they appeared unusually cautious and vigilant.

Observing their careful demeanor, Ge Xiaolun’s smile deepened, and he nodded with satisfaction.

He knew he had succeeded.

“Please have a seat, what would you like to drink?”

Unlike Lian Feng and the others’ wariness, he was relaxed and natural, smiling as he invited them to a table by the window, treating them just like any other customers.

This caught Lian Feng and the others somewhat off guard.

“Anything is fine, thank you,” Lian Feng replied softly, still unwilling to let her guard down.

Ge Xiaolun turned to the others with a smile, and seeing no objections, he then looked back at the beautiful girl behind the bar. “Xiao Li, four iced Americanos, no sugar.”

“Got it~” The girl called Xiao Li responded sweetly and promptly began preparing the drinks.

The others showed no reaction, but Du Qiangwei’s mouth twitched slightly, regretting having been too polite earlier.

The coffee was quickly served. Du Qiangwei took a polite sip, and involuntarily frowned with her delicate, oval face.

This was worse than poison!

Ge Xiaolun pulled over a chair and sat in the aisle, chuckling, “Can’t handle bitterness and still won’t order what you like?”

Hearing his warm laughter and friendly tone, the tense atmosphere in the quiet café seemed to lighten considerably.

Du Qiangwei finally relaxed a bit and shot him a glare, “It’s because your aura is so overwhelming, none of us dare to relax... Besides, are you sure you’re not trying to trap us on purpose?”

As a young woman just in her twenties, not the type who needed to push herself to work, she obviously preferred sweet drinks. Who would like this bitter herbal medicine taste?

Normally, she wouldn’t force herself to suffer like this.

But unfortunately, this guy’s aura from yesterday until now was just too strong...

She didn’t understand why, but he seemed to precisely manipulate their psychology.

Every word and action imposed a passive pressure on them.

Hearing this, Ge Xiaolun laughed heartily, enjoying Du Qiangwei’s frustration, feeling a strange sense of pleasure.

Still, seeing how cautious everyone was, he felt quite satisfied.

Actually, Du Qiangwei was right—he had done this intentionally.

Because he needed their feedback to determine whether his plan was truly effective.

“Are you all from the Super God Academy? Or some special department?”

After joking around, Ge Xiaolun got straight to the point.

Lian Feng immediately became alert, taking a deep breath, then looked seriously at Ge Xiaolun. “We’re from the Super God Academy. I’m Lian Feng, this is Teacher Ruiz, and Du Qiangwei and Jess.

Among us, Du Qiangwei, Jess, and I belong to the military of Greater Xia.

We came mainly to discuss some important matters with you and to ask you some questions.”

She introduced herself and the others earnestly.

Ge Xiaolun nodded, “I’m Ge Xiaolun, I’m sure you all know me. And that over there is my girlfriend, Su Xiaoli.”

Of course, he knew exactly who they were and knew they knew him well too.

“I know you’ve already communicated with the Galaxy Force system and should know we are basically on the same side, so… I’ll get straight to the point,” Lian Feng said cautiously while watching Ge Xiaolun’s expression.

Ge Xiaolun gave a half-smile, “So you really can see my communication records with Galaxy Force.”

He stroked his coffee cup meaningfully.

At this, the four of them tensed immediately.

“But you should also know there’s no ill intent here… and haven’t you already eliminated all potential risks?” Lian Feng hurriedly explained.

She wasn’t being overly cautious—it was just that until all problems were confirmed and the ownership of Galaxy Force was established, she dared not be careless.

She was well aware of how important Galaxy Force was.

“Whether there’s ill intent, I have my own judgment,” Ge Xiaolun said calmly.

---

The fact that the backgrounds of Super God World’s super soldiers could be monitored or even manipulated was no longer surprising for those familiar with the Super God universe.

Like Reina being controlled by Black Wind to blow up Kaisa.

Like He Xi overhearing conversations between Angel Yan and Pan Zhen.

Like Angel Yan implanting analysis programs in Ruoning’s divine body.

Like Hua Ye arming Karl’s void abilities and remotely warning him at any sign of disloyalty.

The connection and control between super soldiers and their own factions were even more common.

From the day Ge Xiaolun learned he would become the bearer of Galaxy Force, he had been wary of this.

So, he had researched countermeasures early on and dealt with potential threats directly before Duke Kao and the others could react.

Moreover, the reactions of Lian Feng and the others served as proof of the plan’s effectiveness.

“Of course, as you said, the problem has been resolved.”

Ge Xiaolun shifted tone and smiled faintly.

“As long as you’re not forcing me to hand over the access rights to Galaxy Force, I think we still have a foundation for communication.”

At this, Lian Feng finally exhaled deeply, the tension leaving her face.

“Rest assured, Ge Xiaolun, we have no intention or ability to demand access rights to Galaxy Force,” she quickly explained.

In fact, she and General Duke Kao knew that once the access rights to Galaxy Force were lost, it was impossible to retrieve them.

That was why they were so panicked initially.

“However, I still want to ask,” Lian Feng said, exchanging a glance with Ruiz before looking at Ge Xiaolun.

“Have you been in contact with other god-level civilizations? Did they... help you?”

She looked at him earnestly, a trace of nervousness creeping into her previously relaxed expression.

Because this question was crucial to their earlier judgments.

It would determine whether what awaited them was bad news or a pleasant surprise.

And they could only ask because they had already discovered that even the likes of Teacher Liu, a third-generation god of the Divine River, couldn’t access any data about Ge Xiaolun!

Couldn’t see it!

Absolutely nothing!

Upon hearing this, even Du Qiangwei, who knew little, stared at Ge Xiaolun, realizing the question’s significance.

Under their anxious gazes, Ge Xiaolun casually shook his head.

“Such a small matter needing others’ help? You really don’t understand Galaxy Force.”

He was indifferent, even questioning Lian Feng and the others’ understanding.

They were momentarily stunned.

Then, their eyes lit up with indescribable joy.

“Really? You’ve never contacted other civilizations?” Lian Feng asked incredulously.

“No,” Ge Xiaolun sipped his coffee, nonchalant.

He understood their worries and had anticipated their thoughts.

In fact, this was partly the result of his deliberate guidance last night.

“So, you did all this by yourself? Using anti-void?” Ruiz, who had been silent, finally spoke, his eyes gleaming with the marks of time.

“Oh ho… Teacher Ruiz really knows his tech, guessing so quickly,” Ge Xiaolun said, feigning surprise as he looked at Ruiz.

Lian Feng and the others looked at Ruiz in confusion.

But Ruiz appeared to have discovered a treasure, staring at the young Ge Xiaolun with admiration and affection, nodding excitedly.

“Good! Good! Good! Good boy, truly... If not forced to this point, even this old man wouldn’t have thought of it.”

He couldn’t help but praise him further.

“Teacher Ruiz, you wouldn’t have a way to counter me, would you?” Ge Xiaolun raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t, don’t!” Ruiz laughed hastily.

“Don’t worry, kid, honestly, with your current method, no one can invade your information without seriously injuring you.

They can’t even read your dark information.

And none of us have the ability or desire to harm you.”

“Oh, I figured as much,” Ge Xiaolun nodded, satisfied, as it confirmed his own judgment.

They suddenly got along well, leaving Lian Feng and the others a bit bewildered.

---

“Teacher Ruiz?” Lian Feng looked at the old man with curiosity.

Ruiz was about to speak but then looked at Ge Xiaolun.

“Should I explain, or would you like to explain it yourself? We’re all on the same side anyway.”

“I’m not one to boast,” Ge Xiaolun shrugged indifferently.

“As for if you really understand it, I’m not responsible for what you do.”

Pressure from Duke Kao and Lian Feng was somewhat necessary, but he wasn’t fond of revealing his abilities.

“Well, then I’ll give it a try...” Ruiz rubbed his hands, looking excited.

“Lian Feng, although your understanding of anti-void might be superficial, you should at least know some concepts.”

The three of them watched as Ruiz shifted into scholar mode.

“Besides its fundamental ability, the anti-void of Galaxy Force has a characteristic: it can block a certain amount of any form of energy flow.”

Ruiz stroked his beard and spoke eloquently.

Ge Xiaolun took a sip of coffee, nodding inside.

He knew Ruiz wouldn’t overlook this.

Great gods of the Super God World might not conceive of unprecedented events due to habitual thinking, but when such things occurred, they could quickly guess most of it.

“And the transmission of any information relies on the flow of energy.”

“So, Xiaolun only needs to use Galaxy Force’s anti-void ability to shield himself from any energy-based information input, even blocking his own information output, leaving only natural, non-threatening forms like visible light, preserving sight and hearing.”

“Once all information interference is blocked, the highest authority over Galaxy Force is himself. He can carefully search within and use the anti-void ability to disable or destroy any threatening programs one by one.”

“With this method, not only can we not access him, even the Space Principal or gods of Kaisa’s level cannot remotely read his data or invade his information.”

“Xiaolun, you truly live up to being the chosen one of the Divine River among a thousand picks, amazing!”

Ruiz analyzed excitedly, clearly enjoying himself.

Listening to Ruiz’s explanation, Ge Xiaolun nodded.

This old rascal had basically figured it out.

This was a plan he had conceived back when he was three years old in kindergarten.

Using anti-void to block energy and information flow, first to regain control of Galaxy Force, and second to secure his own dark information.

Directly unplugging the network cable.

That’s how broken the anti-void ability was.

Although his knowledge and computing skills at Blue Star’s level didn’t help much, and the Galaxy Force system had no existing programs for this, after all, Galaxy Force was a god-level civilization system and AI.

With his clear instructions, Galaxy Force could carry out these operations.

“I see.”

Lian Feng and Duke Kao aboard the Grand Canyon ship suddenly understood as well.

Exactly.

Now they all understood.

Since no information could be input or feedback received,

What was the point of talking about permissions?

They were both astonished and delighted.

Delighted that it wasn’t a god-level civilization who contacted Ge Xiaolun; he was still a Blue Star warrior.

Astonished because they didn’t know whether to marvel at the strength of Galaxy Force or Ge Xiaolun’s intelligence—he had managed, in just a few days, using only pre-nuclear civilization knowledge, to block the control of these god-level civilization projects and take full control of Galaxy Force’s permissions himself.

Incredible.

Simply incredible!

Du Qiangwei stared blankly, not knowing what to say.

“So... the main reason we came is to invite you to join the Super God Academy.”

“I wonder if you’ll agree?”

After a moment, Lian Feng regained composure and looked at Ge Xiaolun solemnly and hopefully.
